The hardware itself doesn't appear to be open though? - "Blueprints are available on case by case basis"

It's not, and the process is awful. To get access to blueprints or hardware specifications you need to provide proof of academic credentials and affiliation with a relevant research project.
They really shouldn't be calling it an open-source anything.
Nanographs, a company out of Portland, is probably a better source of open microscope information (https://www.nanographs.io/).
Thanks for the link, not come across that before.
